EMINEM

The divorce between Eminem and his wife has been finalized.

The rapper -- whose real name is Marshall Mathers III -- and Kim Mathers were wed in 1999 and separated in August 2000. The divorce was finalized last week in Macomb County, Mich., Family Court, according to court records.

The Grammy winner agreed to pay $1,000 a week in child support and share custody of his 5-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade.

The settlement is less than half the $142,280 recommended by the Friend of the Court. However, Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said the resolution was amicable.

Kim Mathers, 25, filed for divorce in March, just two months after the couple reconciled and Eminem dropped divorce proceedings.

Earlier this year, Eminem was sentenced on a weapons charge stemming from an incident outside a Warren, Mich., nightclub after he saw his wife kissing another man in the parking lot.

JANET JACKSON

Janet Jackson says she's always been very disciplined. Which is why she's in such great shape, according to SHAPE magazine's first-ever "celebrity" issue.

In an exclusive cover story interview, the four-time Grammy-winning singer gets candid about her fantastic new shape and her rigorous exercise regime. Jackson reveals that three days of abs, five to six days of cardiovascular and two days of upper body and legs have required immense discipline to keep in shape. However, it's all a part of keeping on track to becoming who she wants to be. "When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do," said the pop diva.
